Twestival Goes Local

Twestival Local is, according to the Twestival site, "getting back to its roots and encouraging cities around the world to host events in support a local cause on one day" during the weekend of Sept. 10-13. All proceeds will go to a local nonprofit selected by each area that participates. Each Twestival Local area has established a clear fundraising target and specific goal that will benefit the charity, e.g., raise enough to send 25 kids to camp, drill a well, help buy a piece of equipment, etc.
